08 :: R26 Sun :: Raiders 52 Bulldogs 34 @ Canberra

[Cumberland Throw]

Hazem missing four was costly in the scheme of the game and of course his record, which he'll no doubt break in the first round of the game.

SPOONERZ!!! :crazy:

It would of been a major non event if Hazem had broken it in Canberra while they got the spoon.

And if the NRL do not give the dogs a home game round one they are f**kin hopeless... ooh wait.

It can be really highlighted as the major event of Rd One, I say anyone gets in to ANZ who has a lebanese passport, or even if you have gel in your hair why not...

So the dragons were picked to be 14-16th

Canberra used 30 players this year to the dragons 27 , i give canberra some credit there

Canberra have beaten teams who took them easy, yes i give canberra credit there too

Now like today the bulldogs were has injurys , they are last and have no threatening attack against finals bound teams.

You can not dispute the facts

by letting the bulldogs score 34 points on the raiders home ground and last game before the finals that isnt pathetic

And we have the second nominee for Idiot post of the year

So according to you, because the Raiders let in some points today they don't deserve to be in the finals.

By similar arguments, since the Dragons scored 0 points this week they don't deserve to be in the finals. Plus they also lost to the Raiders. AT HOME! Or since Manly only scored 34 points against the non-existent defense of the Panthers, they don't deserve to be there either. And what about the Storm. Losing last week to the Knights. How dare they be in the finals! And the form of the Roosters over the past month or so, you know losing to the Raiders and all. They don't deserve a spot. Hell, none of the teams deserve a spot in the finals according to your idiot philosophy.

You, sir, are worse than a Goose!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

I tell you what, if 11 a side Rugby League could produce games like that each week, I would watch it. Very exciting.

Are you serious ?

The defence was sh*t all day and we had dropped ball after dropped ball

I thought someone named Dogs of War would appreciate a mixture of attack and defence

You can not dispute the facts

Round 3: Canberra 21 - Dragons 14
Round 18: Canberra 19 - Dragons 12

You mean those facts?

 

[Gaba]

The facts the wooden spooners made 9 line breaks , and felt sorry for the raiders so they scored 34 instead of 42

This is why you shouldn't drink paint.

So the 2nd best attacking team in the league shouldn't be in the Finals?
:lol: That'll do me.

Had the Raiders scored 1 more converted try they would have finished as the best attacking team in the comp.

But they have the 2nd worst defense too

 

[bileduct]

Not even close.

 

[Gaba]

Not even close.

fair point i should have said for the finals

Warriors 567 against

Canberra 527 against

broncos are 452 against

roosters are 446 againt

and the others are under 400


The raiders and warriors are the worst by a long way in defense

 

[Walt Flanigan]

But they have the 2nd worst defense too

Canberra are 8th in defence dopey.

 

[Leethal]

But they have the 2nd worst defense too

We sit 8th in defense.

Give up.

 

[Gaba]

Canberra are 8th in defence dopey.

I was talking about the finals not the whole season out of the 8 teams left

the warriors come into the finals with the worst defense and the raiders have the 2nd worst defense by a long way.

Nice back-pedaling tiger but time to give it a rest.

You're stupidity was entertaining at first..........getting a little old now.

 

[Leethal]

And the 3rd best F/A in the comp. Note also that the Dragons have the 2nd worst attack in the top 8.

 

[Pete Cash]

We were tipped to come last, we have been crippled with injury, we do not have many rated players, we have had a giant off field drama and we still beat the dragons twice and finished higher on the ladder.

In the 2008 regular season, the Raiders have had more success than the Dragons.

 

[*Paul*]

Only the seventh tme a team has scored 7 tries and lost.

And what's with all the Americans in this thread?

[Dogs Of War]

Oh the defensive side of things was awful, but it was like both team had 11 players out there with the space available. The ball movement made it still a very enjoyable match to watch.

So really as far as product goes, I would prefer what something could be consider sh*t, with lots of drop ball, but still lots of good attack to watch, than some of the boring, one up stuff we currently see.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Fair enough, i see your point

Suppose i am a bit old fashioned and like to see the points earned a bit more than they were today.

Brisbane v Parra at Suncorp was my sort of game, reasonably high scoring with some great attack and also some good defence
